Northamptonshire supporters are crossing off the days to the start of the 2017 season – as the newest member of Wantage Road’s support team works hard to get the Steelbacks squad ready for that first ball.

We are delighted to be working with The Nigel Wagstaff Charity for the 2017 season. They are hoping to raise £37,000 so we will be looking forward helping them reach this target with various events held at The County Ground over the next year.

It was announced back in September that the English first-class counties had voted by a sizeable majority to give ECB the go-ahead to explore further a proposal for a new eight-team T20 competition. To allow Steelbacks’ fans to have the best and latest available information, we sat down with Northamptonshire CCC’s chairman Gavin Warren to ask him a series of questions.

The squad wanted to make a champions DVD to be released this October, not only to mark the end of a fantastic year, but to give you, the fans, an insight into what it’s like being a Steelback and how these 'underdogs' have done it again!

Keaton Jennings will lead the England Lions in their four-day and one-day series against Sri Lanka A next February and March. The Durham opener, who joined a select band to score a century on Test debut in Mumbai last week after being called from the Lions camp in Dubai to replace the injured Haseeb Hameed in the England squad, will be joined in Sri Lanka by both Hameed and Ben Duckett.

It’s that time again already! 2016 was an exceptional season for Northamptonshire, the team performed outstandingly as a unit, resulting in some exciting matches as well as some phenomenal individual stand out performances.

The County Corporate Club provides a cost effective way to be involved with the club, whilst providing exceptional value for you as a company, not just in tangible benefits but networking opportunities amongst a strong network of sponsors and hospitality guests all for a one off fee.
